Oracle comes with, yes, *manuals*. You don't need a site, you need to read those manuals, starting with the Oracle Getting Started manual, The Oracle Concepts Manual and so on.
You will soon learn
a) you can't master oracle by not reading any manual b) you don't have multiple databases in Oracle, you have multiple schemas

Why do MySql and Sqlserver people never read manuals, sigh!
